Hello and hope you are doing well.

Mastocytosis is a disorder characterized by mast cell proliferation and accumulation within various organs. Skin is most commonly affected. Therapy is based on the symptoms. Besides antihistamines, oral disodium cromoglycate may help with the skin symptoms.

You can consult an oncologist or a hematologist for therapy. As we do not maintain a directory of doctors in this forum, I cannot provide reference to a doctor in your province. Your primary care physician or your pediatrician may be able to guide you appropriately. Good Luck.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
